| Contents Notes | In 1989, the town of Missoula, Montana, closed three of its drinking water wells due to chemical contamination from shallow disposal systems. This 15 minute video provides an in-depth look at how the business community, working with local government, eliminated its dependence on these systems for managing commercial wastewater. By reducing waste and adopting cost-effective alternative disposal methods, businesses were instrumental in saving the community's sole source of drinking water. |
